No.

From an arm-chair physicists' point of view: for all intents and purposes, those wheels will perform no better than $200 wheels.

Ever come across a pair of $200 blue jeans and wonder "Who would buy these?!"? Yeah, it's like that.

To the OP, just pick up some deep-v's for less than $200 and be done with it for now. Take everyone else's advice and save your money. Or spend it on more important things like chainrings/cogs/training days. Or now since we're approaching the off-season, a gym membership.
